"A Step-Niece For Loving!"

Aunt Mo, 50 • Niece Pat, 18 • Aunt Kass, 46

My name is Pat. When I arrived at the home of my two divorced aunts, I was greeted with hugs and kisses as soon as I walked in the door. They were sincerely glad to see me. I assumed the close affection they showed me was because I was their sister's daughter and they loved their niece very much. I didn't know their fondness for me had nothing to do with who my mother was. I wasn't just a loving niece. I was a niece for loving.
